HOLY CLIFFHANGER BATMAN!!!!!!!

Okay you guys I just finished reading the latest additions to the "Death Of The Family" Story Arc and all I can say is that this Story Arc has just solidified Joker as the Greatest villain in Batman history. The things that this monster has done just to get to batman and the things he did to the robins, batgirl and the people around them are absolutely Hellacious. The evolution of Joker this past couple of years have been amazing because Joker was already off the hinges, but ever since the new 52 started and Joker had his face cut off and goes into hiding for a year, then he comes back last year and straps his face back onto his head and creates the most devious, ultimate evil plan in batman villain history. Plus the fact that as the story progresses, Joker's "reattached" face is starting to decay and rot and darken and flies are always surrounding his face which make him even more crazier to the reader.

Joker isolating Batman from the bat family and trying to break him down has really surpassed anything that he has done in the past. From Joker infiltrating the Haly's Circus, killing the workers of the circus and having Nightwing flipping out, to Joker kidnapping Batgirl's mother and proposing to Batgirl with Batgirl's mothers ring WHILE THE FINGER WAS STILL WEARING IT. To Joker isolating Red Hood and Red Robin from their perspective teams and leaving the teams to fight for themselves as a laughing gas infected Gotham fight them. To Bruce's Son fighting a laughing gas enduced Batman imposter while Robin thinks that it is his father. The Joker have thought it all through and his plan has worked to the T.

And let's not forget about how The Joker has manipulated his fellow villains as well to do his bidding and help him out with this plan. From manipulating Harley Quinn to dress up into Jokers old Red Hood outfit to sucker batman in when they were in the old warehouse where everything began for batman and Joker. Then when Joker was done with her he tried to kill her (but that's not new) by hanging her with a long chain and then he decides to try and lock her up but she escapes. Then there was The Penguin where Joker just broke Penguin down to relinquish his place in the crime world and gave it to his assistant that is now known as Emperor Penguin.

In my opinion this whole plan of the jokers in "Death of The Family" is even more devious than when he killed Jason Todd. Hell, his actions are even more crazier than when he shot and crippled Batgirl in "The Killing Joke". But I digress this story arc in my opinion is up there with "The Long Halloween", "Under The Red Hood", "Knightfall" and "The Killing Joke" as one of the instant classic story arcs in the history of The Dark Knight.

The cliffhanger that was used in Batman and Robin and Batgirl (pics can be seen below) was scary yet interesting at the same time because the Joker is holding a platter with a cover and the question that everyone is asking and wondering is what is underneath that lid, but more importantly was the cliffhanger from Batman #16 (pic seen below with him foaming) and what does this mean for batman? Is Batman dead? What is underneath the lid? Is it Alfred's head? What will happen to the Four Robins and Batgirl? So many questions are flowing around and they need to be answered and they will be answered in the grand finale of this saga in Batman #17.

Alright guys that's all for now, don't forget to share, share, share. That's all the time I have for now. Don't forget to check out the Nerdgasm Noire Network and everyone involved with them... Peace I'm out... Love, Peace and Bacon Grease
